NEW Portrait of a CDS Graduate Videos Launch
As members of the Class of 2017 embark on their next adventure this fall, we have put the final touches on another series of video vignettes that offer a glimpse into what it means to be a graduate of The Country Day School.
While we only have the opportunity to interview a handful of our new alumni each year, they each tell a different, yet in some ways similar story. Underlying themes included strong sense of community, caring faculty members, a passion for the arts, and gratitude for and pride in their school.
Olivia Railton (Oxford University) speaks about her passion for music and what it was like to debate on the world stage. Corson Panneton (University of Waterloo) talks about his involvement in drama and computer engineering, and how through his CDS connections he was able to land an internship opportunity that confirmed his decision to pursue mechanical engineering at university. Ali Iwai (Queen's University) speaks to her experience as a three-term athlete and member of Student Council and what it meant to be selected as recipient of the Al Jackson award. Azeem Ali (York University) shares the pride he felt in being chosen to represent his class as the Valedictorian. Julia Garbe (University of Waterloo) talks about what attending the same school for 14 years was like, her role as President of Student Council this past year, and offers insights into her experience as one of the few girls in Computer Science classes and Robotics Club. And Beau Binnie (University of Ottawa) talks about his involvement and leadership in CDS athletics, his dream of pursuing high-level hockey, and friends made on and off the playing fields. Each one of these students left wonderful lasting impressions on us and articulates the impact CDS has had on their own lives as well.
We encourage you to take a moment to watch our Portrait of a CDS Graduate video collection on the CDS YouTube channel.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
